THE KENTUCKY DERBY.

SAN Francisco, February l3.-An
Examiners special TO night says: Kirk

the talk in racing circles for the rast

the betting done by some of the city
book-makers on the Kentucky derby.
For the derby one book is already "full''
againstI Higgins Silver Bow, hay colt
by Fechter that has never yet run. but
is said to have shown very fast in the
spring of 1885. The actual favorites for
the Kentucky derby at present, With
only 10 to IL to one offered against
them, are A. G. McCampbell's Jim Gore
by Hindoo, Baldwin's Goliah, by Gum
stead, in the same stable and quoted at
Is to /, Laredo, by Grimstead, is also
said to be candidate for the derby hon.
ors, although no. 18th as good a claim as
Goliah; Alcalde is also quoted at 10 to l
for the Kentucky derby. Whether Mr..
Haggin will start Alcalde at Louis
Vile or not the public cannot
have the slightest chance of
knowing, Last year the public backed
Ban Fox to win the Kentucky derby,
and he was liked till few hours before
the race when Mr.. Haggin scratched"
him and ran Ben Ali, who went to post
favorite and won by length. MIR.
Haggin's lot for the Kentucky includes
Acton, Alcalde, Banbridge, Bankura,
Klamath, Marigold, Silver Bow and
Tupare; at least they had not been de-
clared out when Ben Bruce, the Secretary
of the Louisville Jockey Club made the
public declarations early in winter. OF
the lot "Goodwin" shows Alcalde to be
the best, but as be has beaten Maiden
and is engaged fer the Emporium stake
at Sheepshe d Bay he may be saved for
that race as Hidalgo was in 1885. So
far as Jim Cores Goliah, Laredo and
Aicalde are concerned it would seem
that they are the best let alone for the
present.

LABOR IN The SOUTH.

How Wages Are Paid-for What

Servant Question.
IsrEuILL TO THE APPlAL.l

New YoRK, July l3.-The indus.ria
energy now shown in the South and
the opportunities offering themselves
there, suggested an inquiry not only
into the state ol wages, the result OF
which was recently reported In these
columns, but more particularly into
the demand for different kinds OF
work in different parts Of the South
and the way in which wages are paid.
The following quss ions were sent to
responsible men, employers and em-
ployee, In every coun'y In North
Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and
Georeia-msinly to men in small
towns and In the country, because the
demand for work in cities and the
methods Of payment are already more
generally known. Answers have been
receivedtrom large portion Of them.
One inquiry was: "For what kind OF
labor is there q demand in your COM
munityf" The replies show an almost
universal demand for farm lsborers,
not so much because farm laborers
seem to be scarce as because they are
not satisfactory. The significance Of
the answers is that they show 80 gen
eral state Of dissatisfaction with the
present farm labor. The answers
group themselyes thus:
